Other diversity and inclusion indicators
The legal framework in each country determines the data that may be made public. Gender and age are the only two criteria authorized in France and applicable worldwide. This is why in June 2020 and June 2021, Publicis Groupe publicly shared its data on the ethnic origins of its employees only in the United States and the United Kingdom, as part of a strong commitment to actually improve inclusion within agencies. Disability is a criterion that is unevenly followed in all countries; only French data is published in this document.
